Summer is definitely on its way. The temperature is rising, the days are longer and there is an abundance of fresh fruit and berries available for us to enjoy. But is there a simple way to get a delicious burst of summer for breakfast? I mean, who has the time to sit down and enjoy an entire bowl of fruit or juicy mango – definitely not me. So do you want to know my secret for having a little taste of summer every morning? I add tropical flavours to my overnight oats and ta da – I’ve got a refreshing, summer treat that keeps me going right up until lunchtime (promise).
